The lynching period in the United States is not something I want to bring back for anyone, not even you. Banning you might be good, though.

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:10:35 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=65512#comment-2711051My wife and I saw Taylor Swift perform in Boston in July, and she was absolutely great. At one point the crowd gave her a 6 minute standing ovation in the middle of the concert. It was something I’ve never seen before and I ‘ve been to dozens of concerts over more years than I care to think about, both rock and country.

And she’s only 19!

This isn’t the first time he’s acted like a royal A-hole at an awards show; in fact, it’s not even the first time he’s rushed the stage during an acceptance speech to protest the winner. That happened a few years ago at the MTV Europe Awards. Even so, I salute him: In this season of political turmoil, Americans are finally united in hatred of his pure, preening douchebaggery. No small accomplishment. […]

You know it’s too bad lynching isn’t allowed in this country anymore…CUZ I KNOW OF A FEW PEOPLE WHO DESERVE IT!

Kanye is a well-documented Obama supporter, and you’re the racist, racist.

Puleeze!!! Folks, why do you engage in the labeling game of the liberals and minorities? Can’t you see that calling someone a racist is a tactic developed of necessity by those outside of the ruling side? Claims of racism are little more than a futile protest by the have-nots against those who wield the real power in society. Since they can’t achieve their goals, they attempt to make the victors feel somehow guilty about the victory. Don’t buy into it.

An accusation of racism against you should be a clear indication that your opponent is competing with you from a position of weakness. Trying to turn the tables on him by saying that he, actually, is the racist in the room only legitimizes the initial accusation.

It’s not necessary to run from an accusation of racism. It serves only to confirm your position of strength. The attack is neutralized if you don’t acknowledge it as damaging. The balance of power remains the same. In order to change that balance more towards his favor, your attacker must work actively and productively within the system to improve the lot of his side. That is the only way to real equality.

So, don’t consider it shameful when someone throws the “r” word at you. Consider it an acknowledgment that your side, political or otherwise, is the winning side and that your opponent is too weak to take his fate into his own hands.

There have been no American Idol finalists (much less winners) that are from the hip-hop/rap genre. But the most successful American Idol since the first one is as Nashville as they come (Carrie Underwood).

I noticed this as well. Notice how in their final show they hired the latest hip-hop/rap star to perform. Simon’s no dummy in business. He’ll put on the money tested rapper but he hasn’t bother to mess with hip-hop/rap off the street talent because he knows it will not sell.

The supporting musicians (strings, percussion, winds, brass, backing vocals) for the hip-hop/rap bands are 10 times the musicians of the actual stars.

With Obama (”I won”) in the White House, Kanye West is not the only racist black who feels he can behave like a thug.

That is true but why do we care about a second hand enterteiner who behaves like a thug just to keep himself in the public’s attention? We feed him by giving him attention. He doesen’t have a video, he hasn’t had a hit in years but he is going to stare in Jay Lenno’s first show and he has to advertise himself somehow. Without constant controversy we wouldn’t know who Kanye West is. We should learn from this.

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:28:44 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=65512#comment-2704842I really can’t understand why we pay so much attention to a publicity stunt. West hasn’t had a decent hit in years and the only way he keeps himself in the public eye is by making all kind of stupid gestures and shouting profanities. Can anybody name a great song performed by this clown? I don’t recall any.

There have been no American Idol finalists (much less winners) that are from the hip-hop/rap genre. But the most successful American Idol since the first one is as Nashville as they come (Carrie Underwood).

In a different time (pre-MTV Real World), Taylor Swift would’ve been as likely to show up on the VMA awards as LeAnn Rimes would’ve. So be nice, Kanye and Beyonce; you need Taylor Swift.
